Episode Synopsis "Episode 1: La Francophonie Across Canada"

For this inaugural episode we will highlight the vibrant Francophone community in Manitoba. This is just one of several Francophone communities outside of Québec with their own lively and distinct culture. The ability to study, socialize and work in French in Manitoba will also be discussed with our guest Chloé Freynet-Gagné. This pod­cast is co-hosted by executive producers André Marchildon, a Franco-Manitoban, and Ian T. D. Thomson, a born and raised Winnipegger who grew up speaking only English. The music in Beyond Riel comes from Franco-Manitoban artist Rayannah. The series is sponsored by la Société de la francophonie manitobaine and sup­ported by a Taking It Global grant.
